Can this be used inside an apartment in the event of an emergency power outage, providing I turn on the vent above the oven in the kitchen?

I used the sterno stovee on a hot mat on my kitchen table in my kitchen after Sandy but I never left it unattended. I would even leave it on the surface of the stove to use but maybe put something heat resistant under it. I also used some sterno that was from the 1960s that my mother still had but I did buy the six packs they sell on amazon as it is a great price.

by the way I think sterno does not emit any toxic fumes but I would double check that fact.

it sure can. it runs on sterno, which is what people use for chaffing dishes @ parties to keep food warm in those large aluminum pans.

No. It is rated for working with low energy consumption devices up to 100 watt. Check watt power on the back of your oven and then check high power converters on Amazon, there are plenty.

You probably don't want to use the hard-wired connected alarms in the kitchen. in fact, the instructions for these USI products does not recommend kitchen installation. If you want kitchen protection, probably best to use the single stand-alone product so you know about the smoke but not set off everything every time. The fire department says kitchen fires are the majority of calls, so stay close to the kitchen when cooking. Personally, I have about quit cooking and only use a crockpot.

No, it won't work in a power outage because my base unit is plugged into my household current and the phone line service is provided by the cable company. For power outages, it's best to rely on a separate phone line that's hard wired to a telephone company, e.g., Verizon.

You can recirculate the vent back to the kitchen or vent it outside. Either or will work

Yes you can,As long as the unit does not have a night feature.you will also have to wire (If the unit has regular light) the light,exhaust fan and heater together for the timer switch(Which means you have no control over the heater being off if you don't need it)unless the timer switch has an additional switches.

Electricity is needed only for the fan unit which circulates the air a little bit. In a power outage, the unit will still provide heat. Comes with a AA battery that goes in the push button ignition. I'd say if you can plug it in, it would help, but if you have a fan in the room (ceiling fan works great) you really don't need it.

Well I only used it once because i want it for emergency, as in FL we only have Electric so if it goes out nothing to cook with. I live in a condo so no BBQ units allowed so this will come in handy, but keep area ventilated as recommended, I just opened a window next to unit.

Hi Carol: I would say that you would have to turn the heater back on but I'm not sure because I have not been in a power outage since I have owned it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I think yes. I plugged the machine into a standard kitchen outlet and no problems, my previous machine sometimes would blow a fuse, not this machine.

My answer is no. I would not use it indoors because of the smoke. The hood on my indoor stove wouldn't be able to handle it. It's the same as if you heated a cast-iron skillet to about 500 degrees F and threw a steak in it. The smoke alarms would all go off.

The packaging doesn't say, but I can't imagine an oven would take this type of bulb. There are usually bulbs specifically for appliances and they are much bigger than this one. If you don't have the manual to look it up, take out the burned out bulb and see what kind it is. This is a very tiny bulb usually used in under cabinet lighting.

I used it for an emergency light that goes on when the power goes out. LED light bulbs use hardly any power compared to standard emergency light bulbs, so I guess it would work fine.

I have used this stove indoors when I have had need of an extra burner, but I have not used it during a power outage.

You can do either. We put an outlet up in the ceiling and plugged it into that. Hope that helps!

Better turn it off as soon as the power outage happens. Don't take risks with space heaters, no matter how safe they are.

No. As long as you don't enclose it. Only the ones meant for indoor use need to be vented.
